Neither it is in Spain. It's pilot's responsability, not legal, but common
sense!!!
You need to have the common sense to do functional checks when you rig your
glider... after all, it's your ass that's sitting on it.

good flights,

Can't speak for the USA, but in South Africa it is regarded as part of the
normal operation of the glider to de-rig and re-assemble. No sign off
required,
no special qualification, no problems or requirements - other than having
enough
sense to do your control checks and daily inspection carefully
afterwards...
